Parking in front of driveways

Unfortunately the white line is only there to draw peoples attention to your driveway, legally they mean nothing, they are just a white line on the road that you will have to pay for!!!!!

you can call the police give them the car number and ask them to track the owner and ask them to move it, they will if they can and call you back. Its a real nuisance but can be done.

why dont people think how would they like it.

We have no end of problems where we live. The other week we had a cone out and some lads drove into it and squashed it all and went to the local shop when they came out we told them politely that they had parked across a drive and smashed the cone up. One got all lippy and said he would replace the cone but of course he didnt.

Later that week we had a funny phone call and we dont know whether it was to do with that incident or not. whats wrong with people dont they ever say sorry. We even got asked havent we anything better to do so they think we should ignore it then what would they do if it was their property same as us no doubt.

I used to live in a house where my next door neighbour sold cars from his house, shouldn't have done but he did.

All day every day people would park accross my driveway and very often, especially at weekends people would reverse into my driveway or drive right up my driveway, turn round and drive out or even reverse into my driveway, park and walk round to look at the neighbours 2nd hand cars. I understand how you feel as the cheek some pople have is amazing. The ones who used to park on my driveway and walk away used to say that there was no where else to park!

At the time both my husband and myself had cars and so did my 3 adult children who were all living at home so there was always one of us coming or going. We tried everything, leaving notes on the cars, calling over the fence to the neighbour asking him to tell his customers to move their cars, we put a gate up but it was reversed into and knocked down so many times it was not worth the bother. It was really hard after we had driven to the house, used our indicator and then found we could not get into the driveway and dangerous too.

After trying everything that has been suggested here and more the thing that worked best was just putting hand on horn and leaving it there until someone moved the cars. This annoyed the neighbour who started telling his customers not to do it, annoyed his customers who when they had to move their car just drove off and didn't go back to buying a car next door and made all our other neighbours annoyed with the car dealer for causing the problem as they also had the problem especially at weekends and didn't want to be living next to a car dealer anyway. I didn't care what my neighbour did as long as it did not inconvience me!

If you make it inconvenient for them rather than inconvenient for you it will teach them a lesson, any sign of heavy rain, snow etc hand on horn, it does work

Bear in mind that the permit system is a slippery slope and will only mean that you have to pay for the privilege of parking down your road rather than allocating spaces or allieviating parking problems.

knocking on their door really late at night or early in the morning should get the point across
